xonsh.main.main(argv=None)

xonsh.main.main_context(argv=None)

Generator that runs pre- and post-main() functions. This has two iterations. The first yields the shell. The second returns None but cleans up the shell.

xonsh.main.main_xonsh(args)

Main entry point for xonsh cli.

xonsh.main.path_argument(s)

This is very similar to argparse.FileType, except that it doesn’t return an open file handle, but rather simply validates the path.

Teardown for main xonsh entry point, accepts parsed arguments.

xonsh.main.premain(argv=None)

Setup for main xonsh entry point. Returns parsed arguments.

xonsh.main.start_services(shell_kwargs, args)
